Someone commented "Flat like edges but still has fender flares, awesome!"
Okay.
"The blacked out wheel arches look much better than the body-colored ones:"

"OK, this at least makes that part of the design sorta makes sense. I feel like the cutouts in the body-colored arches don't need to exist"
"I think the cutouts make it too busy regardless of body color or black. Just do one solid fender with no lines."

So, they are interchangeable for some reason?
Change them! Quick!

I had hoped it would be easier to add removable skirts to them.
I hoped that LLMs would be advanced enough to draw a vehicle in a wind tunnel, but I tried 4, but what the heck is this, Clod?!

I couldn't figure out how to elicit anything reasonable.
One looked like there was a vortex in the wall behind it--which may have been alive.

The 9 is 70.5" tall and 199.2" long.
My image is 333px tall and 1,330px long
So, there are 4.7234042553191489361702127659574px per inch, and with a full boat tail would be 287.6" long, so a full boat tail would add 88.4", 7'4.4", but of course, nobody tapers the back end to a sharp point.

I started thinking about single-wheel trailers with my Prius camper thread because if you add enough weight to the back, not only would the back sit lower, but if you just got stiffer springs, you would affect weight distribution--and we are usually at least considering modifying FWD cars.

In theory, you could get a front hitch and install a cargo box there, but how much would that cost?

You would need to have it made custom!
